Pyruvate Kinase
Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to pyruvate and ATP in glycolysis and plays a role in regulating cell metabolism. There are four mammalian pyruvate kinase isoforms with unique tissue expression patterns and regulatory properties. Pyruvate kinase has four different tissue-specific isozymes in animals, PKL, PKR, PKM1, and PKM2. The L and R isozymes are expressed in the liver (L) and red blood cells (R), whereas PKM2 is expressed in early embryonic cells and other proliferating cells, and PKM1 is expressed in the brain, skeletal muscle, and heart which need high energy.
PKM1 and PKM2 are formed by a single mRNA transcript of the PKM gene by alternative splicing. The oligomers of PKM2 exist in high activity tetramer and low activity dimer forms. The dimer PKM2 regulates the rate-limiting step of glycolysis that shifts the glucose metabolism from the normal respiratory chain to lactate production in tumor cells. Besides its role as a metabolic regulator, it also acts as a protein kinase, which contributes to tumorigenesis. PKM2 serves as a promising target for cancer treatment.

METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 TFA
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-162080APurity: 99.61%METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 (Compound 1) TFA is a selective competitive inhibitor of the methyltransferase complex METTL1-WDR4 (IC50=144 μM). METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 TFA inhibits the m7G methyltransferase activity of the METTL1-WDR4 complex, blocking the m7G modification of PKM mRNA, reducing PKM2 protein expression, disrupting the METTL1/PKM2/H3K9la positive feedback loop, and simultaneously inhibiting PKM2 nuclear translocation-mediated CD155 transcriptional activation. METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 TFA can inhibit tumor cell proliferation, weaken glycolytic metabolism, reverse tumor immune evasion (restoring NK cell and CD8+ T cell function), and regulate RNA epigenetic modification and the tumor immune microenvironment. METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 TFA can be used in immunotherapy research for cancers such as colorectal cancer, and is particularly suitable for use in combination with PKM2 inhibitors to enhance anti-tumor treatment efficacy.
